Canadian Maple
A pale, creamy hardwood with a fine, even grain and a clean, understated character. Canadian Maple is hard, dense, and reliable, making it one of the classic choices for chopping boards, butcher blocks, and kitchen surfaces that see real daily use. Its light colour gives a crisp, modern feel, while the smooth grain keeps the focus on the shape and finish of the piece.

Common questions
How hard is Canadian Maple?
Canadian Maple measures Janka 1,450 — hard enough to take daily knife work and last for years with a little care.
How do I care for Canadian Maple chopping boards?
Hand-wash them, dry them standing up rather than flat, and re-oil with a food-safe oil when the surface starts to look dry. Never put one in the dishwasher. The full routine is in our care guide.
Are Canadian Maple chopping boards food-safe?
Yes. Every piece is finished with food-safe oil and wax, so the surface is safe for food preparation. The finish may contain mineral oil, beeswax, coconut and vitamin E — if you have an allergy, check the care guide before ordering. Canadian Maple itself is a close-grained hardwood well suited to kitchen use.
